Cisco Umbrella the extra layer that you need for your clients

  • December 14, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a cloud solution, with easy administration and a solid secure layer to protect any kind of endpoint. It also can be used as a replacement for Proxy servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Secure client deployment can be better, there's space to improve the decryption feature to protect TLS 1.3 traffic, actually TLS decryption faces a broad of problems with end users and computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Cisco Umbrella as a proxy server for end users, additional our primary and secondary DNS servers point to Umbrella DNS in this way we block bad DNS requests and block page categories as we configure in our policies.

Umbrella boasts a vast security database that constantly updates, allowing it to effectively block malicious domains, URLs, and IP addresses. This proactive approach helps prevent users from accessing phishing sites, malware repositories, and other harmful resources.

Cisco Umbrella is designed to solve these for our organization:

Malware and phishing attacks.
Ransomware attacks.
Data exfiltration.
Shadow IT.

Cisco Umbrella the extra layer protection that you need.

  • December 01, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Incredible fast and easy to use, you can connect almost any Cisco Secure product to Umbrella and get the extra layer protection that it brings. Many solutions can just connect automatically through an API, others can connect using a secure tunnel but once you get connected you can start pushing security policies to your end users. The way that you can block requests from the DNS and not from the GET HTTP helps you to discover threats before any other connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
In recent versions there are some problems with SSL/TLS connection, some clients cannot connect to common use pages although it's allowed on policies, the majority of cases it is just configuration problems like Root CA installation, but others it's just impossible to connect many of them using TLS 1.3.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we purchased Umbrella we were looking for a replacement for some Proxy servers, at the beginning we didn't believe on Umbrella as a good option for HTTP Proxy but We saw SIG capabilities like Web policies, TLS decryption and Tunnel Gateway and changed our minds. After some tests We though it was a really good replacement for the old proxy server, and the best part all is managed on the cloud so we didn't deploy a new appliance on our Datacenter.

  • October 25, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is user-friendly and Cisco Umbrella can be easily integrated with the suite of security tooling both from Cisco and other service providers. In addition, the customer support and training documentation is great!

The price-point and licensing cost for Cisco Umbrella is high. In addition, when integrated as a set of tooling, Cisco Umbrella can be very expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Umbrella helps in blocking the malicious DNS queries and hence helps the team safeguard the overall infrastructure. In addition, category-based URLs can be blocked with the click of a button.

Fast and efficient solution to avoid cyberattacks

  • September 20, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about this solution is that it does not require any type of installation, it is all in the cloud! It has also helped me avoid entering web pages that are used for cyber attacks.
What do you dislike about the product?
False positives sometimes complicate things a bit because they prevent you from entering pages that I know are okay, but other than that, it is an excellent solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a secure DNS has allowed us to browse safely from anywhere and on any device. This helped a lot, since starting with the pandemic, we all started working remotely, but maintaining the security that being in the office gave us.

Layered security

  • September 14, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It helps protect a layer that is highly abused by attackers, bots, ransomware, and other DNS manipulation attacks. It's also adds a layer of visibility into internet usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's new portal, most likely it has to do with the transition for Cisco's SSO platform, but I sometimes have issues logging in, and having to manually input the dashboard url after the fact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting our users from most malicious sights, phishing attempts, and ransomware. Over all the amount of security events related to ransomware and/or credential harvests have significantly been reduced since our implementation of Unbrella accroas all of our clients.

  • September 11, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-based security solution that is simple to deploy and maintain, regardless of the scale of your IT system. It doesn't require any major changes to your current infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
NA - Nothing much however, it would be helpful if Cisco Umbrella had some packet capturing capabilities to make troubleshooting blocked websites and other issues easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the Cisco Umbrella uses DNS to block malicious traffic before it reaches the network itself, it prevents Malware and Cyber attacks. Using its web security features, it also shields you from phishing attempts and helps in locating and managing shadow IT.
